Abstract
A new class of soluble electroluminescent poly(p-phenylenevinylene)s ( PPVs) is introduced here. Alkoxy-substituted 2-phenyl PPVs (see Figure for a schematic representation) are found to exhibit very good solubi lity in the conjugated state, good film-forming properties, high molec ular weights, and excellent electroluminescence performance. With a si mple device setup the researchers achieved very high efficiencies.
